LOUIS VALTAT | Les Arbres en fleurs

Wally Findlay Galleries, Palm Beach
Acquired from the above

This work is in good condition. The panel is sound. There are some minor areas of craqulure throughout, most notably in the lower right quadrant and at center left. The varnish is slightly yellowed in the sky. There is a pinhole in the lower right corner underneath the signature. There is a pin dot loss at the center of the right edge. Under UV light: there are some areas of inpainting throughout the sky, but a heavy varnish makes it difficult to read through.
